Description
The Bone Library examines and interprets all of human life. The poems here respond to broader themes of identity, of place, of love and the unloved.
Written in the old Dick Vet Bone Library during the author's time as writer in residence there, this is a vivid exploration that cuts to the very core of what it is to be alive. It is also a collection that is honest and carries with it, always, an undertow of elegy.
